Introduction
Arizona became the United States forty-eighth state on February 14, 1912. The state's largest city and capital is Phoenix. Arizona is the Spanish interpretation of Aztec words meaning "silver bearing". About 550 million years ago, Arizona was under water.

The Grand Canyon State is the 6th largest state in the Union measuring a total of 111,642 square miles.
